An evening with Dirk Roofthooft

The September Festival opens with an exceptional evening around Dirk Roofthooft. Over the past decades, the actor has built an impressive career in theater, film and television. He has worked with leading companies and creators at home and abroad and is known for his intense presence, his great love of language and his uncompromising search for the core of a text.\n\nAfter a memorable visit to Gaasbeek in 2019, he returns with an exclusive program. Roofthooft reads from his extensive repertoire and from texts that are close to his heart. Exactly which texts those are, he decides only shortly before the performance. Known for his thorough preparation and his great respect for authors, he searches each time anew for the most clear and striking reading of a text.\n\nA special festival opening with one of the most idiosyncratic and beloved actors of the Dutch-language area.\n\nPractical info\n» Wednesday, September 2, 8:00 PM\n» In de Ridderzaal of the Kasteel van Gaasbeek\n» € 25 / € 15 for under-27s, 65+ and residents of Lennik, € 0 for Vrienden van De School van Gaasbeek\n» Wheelchair accessible
